@Ingeniekeyso why is that different from 64 players all using the defib in bf4?
Also, If you watch the trailer carefully, you can see the same characters in the same frame but looking completely different, which means even within each specialist, youll have lots of options for what you look like.
Though I get the feeling of playing as yourself vs playing a specific character. Though playing games like modern warfare, I never really got a detached feeling.
I did get a detached feeling. felt playing a certain hero as in like apex. I personally like better the feeling of being the Unknown soldier on the field. would have been nice with a little but limited customization so you stand a little bit out in your squad.
This hero solution doesn't work for BF for me.
I've started wondering will specialist have more health than a regular player soldier? Kind of like the battle pick ups in BF1.
@ninjapenquinuk No it didn't because you played under a faction so there was there immersion of unit cohesion. Also at that time having more skins weren't really thought off. But wished by many.
GREAT! well now you'll be able to choose whatever character you want!!! Man or Woman and guess what, every one of those options looks completely different!!!!!
I'm really not understanding your "replica" issue here, if anything this is already some of the most customizability we've every gotten in battlefield.

@ninjapenquinukYes, it kind of did break some of the immersion in BFV/BF1, but they didn't have first names and surnames. I think i BFV we can change face and play as man/woman, so this creates variety and the problem of replicas isn't really there.
The "immersion" claim is old, unfounded and a straw man argument in Battlefield games. Every class was an identical clone of the next guy playing that class. Where was the bellyaching, gnashing of teeth and community outcry at past 15 titles about character appearances and "muh immersion" then? This reminds me of the social media twatter mob and thier manufactured outrage over something they've never researched.
So watched a 2nd jackfrags video exclusively on the specialists preview during the press event. 20 minutes of specialists gameplay was shown and one the details I think may help some of the issues raised on being able to identify what the enemy class is. When you get within like 20-40 meters (inthink is what he said) it shows the enemies gamer tag as well as a symbol for the class they are running. He specifically saw both the assault and engineer symbols as part of the enemy ID when you spot or are within range. 2 things here. 1. Identification visually becomes a non issue regardless of cosmetics (which is nice to know) 2. The original class symbols are still in the game which means classes on some level likely are still present outside of specialists or why bother having them represented at all as and identifying mark. Anyway thought it was interesting and relevant to some complaints around specialists.
